Our government is now a reality TV show. We dumbed it all down.

When all of the coverage with Rosenstein at the White House this morning and then updates on Kavanaugh. I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. And I thought that at the time. This is fucking insanity! A country of people should not have to live with this angst and unpredictability every minute of the day!

This is getting to be a joke, and we're probably the laughing stock of most civilized countries across the world. It's like everybody has simply gone mad in DC lately. Government should be a source of stability, and not be run like a damn reality TV show.

But I think that solution already was invented, patented, invested and all shares are personally held by Vladimir Putin's motorcycle mechanic.
